Application of Metal-Based Nanoparticles in Electrochemical Systems

Dear Colleagues,

A wide variety of metal-based nanoparticles, oxide nanoparticles, semiconductor nanoparticles, and even composite nanoparticles have been extensively used in electrochemical applications. Based on their unique properties, metal nanoparticles can play various roles in different electrochemical sensing systems, mainly classified as follows: (i) immobilization of biomolecules; (ii) catalysis of electrochemical reactions; (iii) enhancement of electron transfer; (iv) labeling biomolecules; and (v) acting as reactant. The special physical or chemical properties of nanoparticles have paved the way for improved electrochemical systems that exhibit attractive and promising analytical behaviors.

This Special Issue, "Application of Metal-Based Nanoparticles in Electrochemical Systems”, seeks high-quality works focusing on novel advances in the synthesis, properties, and application of metal-based nanoparticles related to electrochemistry. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Electrosynthesis, green synthesis, and characterization of metal nanoparticles;
• Surface functionalization of electrodes;
• Electrode/electrolyte interfaces;
• Redox properties of metal-based nanoparticles;
• Electrochemical performance of metal-based nanoparticles.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
